WILLIAM GORDON WHEELER was one of a distinguished line of English Catholic prelates who were formerly Anglican priests. Born in Yorkshire in 1910, Wheeler attended Manchester Grammar School and University College, Oxford. He ministered briefly as an Anglican priest before converting to Catholicism in 1936. Seminary studies in Rome brought him directly to the centre of the Catholic Church. Ordained in 1940, Wheeler was successively a curate in Edmonton, chaplain of Westminster Cathedral, editor of the Westminster Chronicle, and chaplain to London University before becoming Administrator of Westminster Cathedral. There he displayed organizational talent, artistic taste, social skills and a deep love of the Catholic liturgy. As Coadjutor Bishop of Middlesbrough, Wheeler attended the Second Vatican Council. Whilst welcoming many reforms, the theologically conservative Wheeler became disenchanted with liturgical changes. Nevertheless, as Bishop of Leeds from 1966 to 1985, he faithfully implemented the administrative and pastoral changes initiated by the Council. Wheeler's episcopate was set against international and domestic turmoil, social and moral change, and challenges to authority. Falling Mass attendances and the loss of priests saddened him greatly but he faced these challenges with strong faith. He was influenced by the lives of the saints and English martyrs, but particularly by the writings of another Anglican convert - John Henry Newman. Style, courtesy and taste were Wheeler's hallmarks and he was dubbed 'the Last of the Prince Bishops'. An educated priest and an astute bishop, he was humorous and sociable. He was a man of prayer with a profound social conscience. Many argued that the Catholic Church he entered in 1936 was not the one in which he died in 1998. For all his sadness at some of the changes, he would argue differently. Throughout his long ministry he embraced with great love all he had sought from the Catholic Church. His life was a journey into the fullness of faith.

Samuel Rutherford Crockett (24 September 1859 - 16 April 1914), who published under the name "S. R. Crockett", was a Scottish novelist.He was born at Duchrae, Balmaghie, Kirkcudbrightshire, on 24 September 1859, the illegitimate son of dairymaid Annie Crocket. He was raised on his grandfather's Galloway farm, won a bursary to Edinburgh University in 1876, and graduated from there during 1879. After some years of travel, he became in 1886 minister of Penicuik. During that year he produced his first publication, Dulce Cor (Latin: Sweet Heart), a collection of verse under the pseudonym Ford Brereton. He eventually abandoned the Free Church ministry for full-time novel-writing in 1895.The success of J. M. Barrie and the Kailyard school of sentimental, homey writing had already created a demand for stories in Lowland Scots, when Crockett published his successful story of The Stickit Minister in 1893.It was followed by a rapidly produced series of popular novels frequently featuring the history of Scotland or his native Galloway. Crockett made considerable sums of money from his writing and was a friend and correspondent of R. L. Stevenson, but his later work has been criticised as being over-prolific and feebly sentimental.Crockett's connection with Kailyard is now beginning to be acknowledged as nebulous at best, as evidenced by a re-appraisal of the whole Kailyard concept by writers such as Andrew Nash.In 1900, Crockett wrote a booklet published by the London camera manufacturer, Newman & Guardia, comparing cameras favourably to pen and pencil and explaining how he encountered the N and G advertisement. Crockett was well travelled in Europe and beyond, spending time in most European countries and he wrote several novels of European history including The Red Axe (1898), A Tatter of Scarlet (1913), and the non fiction The Adventurer in Spain (1903) which holds its own against Robert Louis Stevenson's travel writing. He died in France on 16 April 1914. The subsequent outbreak of the First World War meant a delay in his remains being buried in his home kirkyard at Balmaghie. A memorial to him was erected in Laurieston by public subscription in 1932.
